Ok, so coming from a Blackberry this is very frustrating. Is there any way at all to take a screen shot without rooting and without connection to a computer? I need to be able to do this and i don't always have access to a computer and i don't want to root. This was so simple on my Blackberry. Thanks

The reason you can't take screen shots is, due to the openness of the Android market, Google didn't want spam apps to have the ability to take screen shots of your bank account, etc.

I have some interesting pictures I get from the random ex and I would like to keep them on my phone and hide them. At one point I was using software that hid the photos by changing the file name and placing this in a folder *ridiculous security* I need something that works better than this (security wise)
App on the market, vaulty free. I use it myself. Unless of course that was the app you were referring to, but it is password protected.

Vaulty only changes the file name (if my phone is lost and a minor knowledge in computers) they can easily see my private photos
Lol, you could just encrypt your phone. Or... Set up a screen lock and move all pics to internal storage.

Couldn't agree more, we must see to recommend the proper application.
Pictures or it didnt happen. ;-)
My Philosophy is the same "if it's not on pictures or video it never happened"
I can help. Send me said images and I will keep then for you on my phone. :B

You could put it into a folder and name it with a period before it and you wouldn't see it unless you had root explorer or hooked it up to a computer ".name"
Photovault works wells for me.

I tried to find people, but I have no clue how to add friends. Do they have to have the app?
They do have to have the app and once you find out if they have it or not, you can add them by their phone number. Best app ever.

I never used it, actually froze the app. What is the benefits of using this app say over Google Talk?

Of the many features Samsung included in the Galaxy S3, what is your favorite (or one of them) and why? Even if it isn't exclusive to the phone, I'm curious to know.
Personally, and I didn't think this would be one of them when I heard about it, I LOVE Smart Stay. I usually use my phone a lot to browse and read forums and other internet documents. My old phone was constantly turning off the screen while I read a long post. My Galaxy S3 never turns it off. One of the best features of the phone imo. It's all the little things that work together to make this phone so great.
So what is your favorite feature of the phone?

I also love Smart Stay, it just makes reading easier than having to constantly be touching the screen.
Personally, I love all the ICS and JB leaks I get to play with!!! Never seen a phone with so many so fast!

Other than full integration with my tv and palm wipe to capture, I don't really use any, not a fan of phone camera either

I would have to agree with the Smart Stay, it works great. Swipe capture and picture in picture are also on my list. I wish u could watch youtube videos with it though like u can do with the app Super video.

How do you turn the shutter sound off for palm swipe? It's crazy loud.

Tried it. Found no use for it. Delete it.
I used it, it's good for texting with friends from other countries. But it's redundant if they already have facebook messenger.

I've never used because I don't txt much but but I know how feature rich these korean chat apps can be.
It does help if you're trying to send larger than MMS supported video files, so I guess that's a plus.
Never used it ... same here dont text that much ....

Between the unlimited text + Google Talk and Voice, I really don't need another messaging service, so it got deleted

I personally like it better than the stock one on my GS3. the problem is that not everyone would load this on their phones to text. mostly everybody uses the stock sms and don't care for something different. But how come there's no widget for this app?

saw 2 files you removed that I'm just giving an experienced warning on for others...if you remove the voicemail, you will not receive any notifications if you get voice messages, again I know from experience
not gonna double quote the other pic I saw but the google text to speech file, another 1 that if you ever use your phone on the road for gps, you will not get turn by turn voice directions...yes I've done this and experienced the loss of turn by turn voice
other than that, nice listings and compilation for users

Thank you for the for letting them know that , voicemail for me if I miss a call I just hit and hold 1 and takes you to the old style voicemail
And I dont use voice stuff at all for my phone kinda pointless to me when you have google on mobile web...lol...
Tell you what man deleting all this is amazing how much battery I have gained and how much smoother the phone and performance is
If you and any of you have anymore pointers for the apps being deleted please feel free to share
This list is the list I personally deleted because I never have or never will I use
hey man no problem, I'm like you, I rip all that crap out!! lol even the custom roms, but sometimes when I miss calls at work, I don't bother just dialing the voicemail and next thing you know, I get the message over a week late lol gotta love the space it all frees up too and speeding up the phone and saving battery life for sure
again good posting up of the pics for people to actually see and follow along
